Today U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) spoke on the Senate floor before voting to continue debate on the nomination of Sen. Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense.
"There is simply no way to sugarcoat it: Senator Hagel's performance before the Senate Armed Services Committee was remarkably inept, and we should not be installing a Defense Secretary who is obviously not qualified for the job, and who holds dangerously misguided views on some of the most important issues facing national security policy for our country."
